THQ Inc. today announced The Last Stand, the free downloadable
content pack for critically acclaimed Real-time Strategy (RTS) game Warhammer®
40,000™: Dawn of War® II, is now available worldwide.

Developed by award-winning studio Relic Entertainment, The
Last Stand is an all-new cooperative survival mode that gives gamers control of
an individual hero unit and drops a small multiplayer team into a battle with
impossible odds. Players can choose between a Space Marine Captain, Eldar
Farseer or Ork Mekboy and will team up with two other squad-mates in an attempt
to hold out as long as possible against wave after wave of relentless attackers.
Hero units level up and are fully customizable as new armor and weapons become
available from game to game. Working together to devise innovative strategies is
the key to success in this brand-new battle mode.

The Last Stand is included in an automatic update that also
contains two new multiplayer maps, balance updates and bug fixes for Warhammer
40,000: Dawn of War II.
